The 4th International Conference on Construction Grammar (ICCG4) marks the fourth occasion on which researchers engaged in Construction Grammar, and the study of grammatical constructions in general, gather together from around the world.

As in the past ICCGs, the main purpose of ICCG4 is to provide a forum for presenting construction-based research in its various models and applications. ICCG4 also aims to deepen our understanding of Frame Semantics, which is a twin brother of Construction grammar. In addition, a special feature of ICCG4 is that we hope to promote mutual exchange of ideas between practitioners of Construction Grammar and Japanese scholars from various backgrounds who share a construction-based approach to language.

We welcome researches centering around the notion of grammatical constructions from a wide range of languages. For more details of ICCG4, please refer to the subsections of this website. For those of you who are interested to know the basic concepts and trends in Construction Grammar, we provided a link to the Construction Grammar Webpage and some Introductory Essays written in Japanese on this model.
